Acute Coronary Syndrome

Chapter Overview

This chapter provides a comprehensive exploration of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), a critical condition in cardiovascular medicine. We will delve into its pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, and cutting-edge management strategies. Understanding ACS is paramount for healthcare professionals to deliver prompt, effective, and potentially life-saving care to patients experiencing this acute cardiac event.

Learning Objectives

  1. Differentiate between STEMI, NSTEMI, and Unstable Angina based on clinical presentation, ECG findings, and cardiac biomarkers.
  2. Explain the pharmacological management of Acute Coronary Syndrome, including antiplatelet therapy, anticoagulants, and adjunctive medications.
  3. Describe the reperfusion strategies for STEMI and the appropriate timing for interventions in NSTEMI/UA.
  4. Discuss the long-term management and secondary prevention strategies for patients following an Acute Coronary Syndrome event.
